Fujifilm X-S10

longer exposure times. As a mid-range model, it is equipped with mechanical shock absorbers on the shutter. These protect the sensor from vibrations caused by the shutter mechanism. This allows for images of high brilliance and sharpness in every shooting situation. The X-S10's large, ergonomic handgrip also contributes to a steady camera posture. With the digital film simulations, which are based on the look of legendary analogue films, Fujifilm continues its heritage from analogue photography. The X-S10 features 18 of these image styles, including "Eterna Bleach Bypass" for a high-contrast look with desaturated colours. The X-S10's advanced automatic mode automatically optimises camera settings according to the type of subject detected. This makes it easy to capture stunning landscapes with brilliant, vivid colours and attractive portraits with natural skin tones. Even in backlit situations, balanced exposure results can be achieved without advanced knowledge.

The X-S10's autofocus focuses on the subject at lightning speed and tracks even dynamic subjects with high precision thanks to Face and Eye Detection. Focusing is as fast as 0.02 seconds and works down to -7 EV in the dark.3 This performance is made possible by the X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor with 2.16 million phase-angle AF pixels, which works in perfect harmony with the fast-clocked X processor. Not only is the new camera's autofocus fast, but so is continuous shooting: up to 8 frames per second are possible with a mechanical shutter, and even up to 30 frames per second with an electronic shutter (at crop factor 1.25). When using the electronic viewfinder, there is no blackout of the viewfinder image between two exposures, so the view of the subject is not affected during continuous shooting. The X-S10 records 4K/30p-quality video directly to an SD memory card with 8-bit, 4:2:0 colour sampling, or outputs it at 10-bit, 4:2:2 via an HDMI connection. In high-speed mode, impressive slow motion with 10-fold deceleration is possible with Full HD and 240 frames per second. Even movements that occur in a fraction of a second are vividly captured in the image. In addition to the IBIS system, digital image stabilisation is used to ensure smooth and sharp shots even when walking. In IS-Boost mode, the stabilisation effect is further enhanced so that all camera movements are compensated for in stationary freehand shots.
